vwong99: It's Cayin C5, bro

Double errors, double corrections!
But triple thanks for the heads up

Well... I thought I was done buying iems for the year, but I guess not. Been reading reviews of these for a while, and was deciding between these and the noble X's and the trinity PM6's... but had already ordered both of the others... Guess I am getting all 3 now... Maybe it would have been better to just save up and buy one significantly more expensive pair. Nah, I like having options.
 
Tried searching through the thread a bit and it seems these respond quite a bit to amping, but didn't get too much about how they perform out of phones. Hopefully they are still good as I often use just my phone. Though I do have a fiio e17k, anyone paired with that and have any impressions?

Sharing some photos of iT03 with OPUS #1 stacked with Cain N5.

Apologies if the angle of the pictures ain't right.

So this player requires addttional amping to drive IT03?

Nope. Not at all
Opus's internal amp is good enough to drive IEMs
The stack is just to compare how clean the LO from Opus is

  So I've been having intermittent cutting out on the left side for a while with my pair as well... but it's never caused the IEM to not work overall. It's so touchy that it even happens when I just turn or lean my head. I swapped cable to an ALO SXC25 spc, and it's gone, so I would say it's the stock one probably where the soldered joint attaches at the mini-connector. Anyway, no big deal as I prefer the sound better with the ALO cable, but I'd like to have a stock one which works properly (or even maybe an upgraded one). Debating if I go through Penon Audio, or through Paul / iBasso.... 

Please email me at paul@ibasso.com

Hello

Was wandering whether any Head-Fi'ers compares AAW A3H hybrid vs iT03?

Many thanks

They can run just fine out of my LG G5 - the detail level is still good and the sound is very enjoyable, it just responds better to my higher quality sources.

Good to know! Sounds like these will be a very nice addition to my growing collection, and hopefully the e17k will be enough of an improvement for when I actually feel like carrying it around with me. Now if only I could justify getting something even nicer as well... been eyeing the chord mojo, but its a bit out of my price range.
 
Either way, I will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of these.

Anybody using the IT03 with the Fiio X7?

Do they pair well?

I had a friend bring over an X7 a while back. They sound good with it. The balanced amp sounds best to me.

Any ideas how the the IT03 compares to CA Dorado?

 

[Jackpot77]

Got both at the moment - the Dorado is more of a traditional V (with a boost in the vocal region, so could technocally be a W). Dorado also has a bigger sub and mid bass presence in comparison. Can't do any more detailed A/B as just sending my IT03 over too another member as a temporary trade for his Noble Savants but a and when I get them back, will try and write something more concrete up here.

That would be helpful for those of us here who might consider upgrading from the IT03.  Thanks a lot mate!
